Just a quick question. How many athletes do we have here? My definition of an athlete is pretty broad here: anyone that competes in a physical activity.
Thanks,
Dave

I compete in Taekwondo competitions. Mainly in Taekwondo for my son and just to be active. Competing is just another way of staying active.

Same here. Did track & road racing several years ago. Started training for it this year again and plan to enter some races next summer. Now that Winnipeg no longer has a velodrome, I'll have to travel a bit (Minneapolis, Calgary, Edmonton etc...) to take in the track events.

I have competed at a national level for the last 5 years in sprint kayaking, but I have technically been a competitive athlete since I was quite young. I have been involved in almost every sport under the sun, I'm an over competitive person so I need sports to drive me. I'm starting rugby this year and probably restarting fastball next year
